Cask at the Prince Blucher, Twickenham Green - 29/12/12. Clear chestnut brown with a thin off white head that clears to the edge and leave a film. Nose is dark malts, dark fruits, touch of spice. Taste comprises dark fruits, raisens, bread, dark malt, orange marmalade, a little spice. Medium body with soft carbonation, a little bitterness in the finish. Ok stuff.

Cask at The Swan, Lancaster Gate. It pours deep ruby with a quickly dissipating off-white head. The nose is sticky stewed fruit, berry, faint jam and wood. The taste is berry, plum, lightly tart, jam, wood, leather and subtle astringency with a very dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Decent fruity ESB.

Cask at In de Wildeman. Dark amber colour, no head. Aroma of sweet malts, berries, light spices, a bit like Christmas cake. Flavour is quite sweet, light cloying, light spicy, berries, light bitter finish. Light bodied. Didn’t really like this.

Hand-pulled pint in the lovely ’Old Joint Stock’ Birmingham (West Midlands) on 5 Dec 2012. Looked great: those blackbeeries in the brew add colour as well as aroma and flavour. Good dark amber hue to the beer, off-white head that left some lacing. Nose and taste dominated by those aforementioned blackberries which give it a tart feel from start to finish (just like the bottled version). Really enjoyed it, but one was enough.

Bready, yeasty aroma. Body is thin and watery. This has a yeasty, sharp edge. Some sweet, fruity blackberry can be found in the background.

brown 500ml bottle, best before 15 Jan 2012, poured into a UK pint sleeve in Sep 2011. Auburn body with a cream/off-white head of bubbles. The smell was of dark red berry pie, fruits and pastry combined to give a distinct and different aroma to your average beer. Tart in both ways, meaning sharp and fruity, the taste was the same, an alcoholic fruit tart. Really liked it, interesting, well blended and certainly unusual.

500ml Bottle - Copper with lively carbonation and a small head. Dried fruit, caramel and blackberries in the aroma. Fruity and slightly nutty taste with malt, raisins and blackberries detected. Enjoyable.

Draught @ Salhojanjadun Pub
Aroma has sweetish butter, toffee and hints of hay. Flavour has toffee, some caramel and hay. Dryish and leathery palate. Decent.

500ml bottle bought at Sainsbury’s Pimlico, London in late July last year. Good looking with its bright, rusty brown body under a decent off-white head, leaving dotted spots behind. Mild aroma of dark malts and dark fruits. Well blended flavour displaying berries, caramel malts and resin-like fruits as well as a spicy touch. Resinous bitterness to the aftertaste. Rounded mouthfeel. Nice (Tromsø, New Year’s Day 2012).
